INFJ Personality Type

When INFJs come to believe that something is important, they pursue that goal with a conviction and energy that can catch even their friends and loved ones off guard.

True!

Their passion, poor patience for routine maintenance, tendency to present themselves as an ideal, and extreme privacy tend to leave INFJs with few options for letting off steam. People with this personality type are likely to exhaust themselves in short order if they don’t find a way to balance their ideals with the realities of day-to-day living.

Perfectionism is exhausting.

INFJs act on their convictions, so when they do something, it’s something that has meaning to them – if those actions come under criticism, even justified complaints, but especially unwarranted ones, their morale is likely to tank spectacularly.

I do like to excel on the job. The slightest scrutiny brings me down.

From the start, it can be a challenge to get to know INFJs, as they are very private, even enigmatic. INFJs don’t readily share their thoughts and feelings, not unless they are comfortable, and since those thoughts and feelings are the basis for INFJ friendships, it can take time and persistence to get to know them.

I never have been part of a large group of friends. Most of them didn’t really get me I suppose.

INFJs often pursue expressive careers such as writing, elegant communicators that they are, and author many popular blogs, stories and screenplays. Music, photography, design and art are viable options too, and they all can focus on deeper themes of personal growth, morality and spirituality.

I love writing, and of course, there’s my photography. 🙂

So this is what makes me tick. Take the test and see what makes you tick. It’s very insightful!

I don't believe humans truly have a purpose. Our goal is to survive until we expire. Period. Joy is pleasurable and worrying is not. Balance in life is crucial; but if the scales must tip, may they tip on the side of joy. I’m just another human trying to survive. I blog because I can and because I enjoy it, not because it serves any purpose.

I enjoy the fact that I don’t need to be surrounded by people or in a constant flurry of activity to be happy. I love being introspective, able to read people (body language says a lot if you pay attention), and creative!

That is great 🙂 and I agree being able to read people is really neat (but also can be hard at times when you see something that hurts you). What are your creative hobbies? I am trying to develop mine more.

My main creative outlets are photography and writing. Not only do I have this blog and a photography blog, I also keep handwritten journals. I also occasionally paint (just acrylic on canvas) and make jewelry.
